FOOD! That I cooked!



My mom is working at a farm market for the summer, and keeps bringing me all these vegetables. I'm not sure why she thinks I actually cook, but I just say thanks and smile.
So, I cut up some zucchini, summer squash, red & yellow peppers, and some red onion. But just a lil onion because onions are not my fav. Then I threw them in a pan with some light margarine, because I was out of olive oil. Ha listen to me, like I usually have olive oil.
I don't.
Anyway, I also added some water and put a lid on the pan so it sorta steamed the vegetables, and salt and pepper too.
In another pan, I had some white boneless skinless chicken tenders. Tenders are so much better than the breasts, don't you think? Anyway, I always cook chicken with only water and a lid on the pan, keeps it moist. And spices too. Salt, pepper, Season-all, and some other spicy shit because spicy is the only way to go.
And I made some brown whole grain rice, with chicken stock! instead of water! Because Rachael Ray told me too, and she annoys me so much that I can't stop watching her.
Then I threw the veggies in with the chicken so they could take on some of that flavor. Then I put it on a plate and ate it.
I am pretty much a chef now. So good. And healthy. Only fat in the whole thing was the margarine.
I brought some to work with me tonight. I really want to know if microwaving vegetables removes all nutritional value. It's like, radiation or something isn't it?
But it was still good.

that actually does look really good.

in related news, your sentence about microwaving veggies reminded me of an article i read today and BOY DO I NEED TO SHARE THIS INFO.

so, if you take two little seeds in a saucer with paper towel blah blah blah... and you water one seedling with water straight from the tap... and water one seedling with water that has been microwaved and re-cooled... THE MICROWAVED-WATER-FED SEED WONT GROW. the microwave alters the molecules of the water so much that it is useless. how gross is that? i am tossing my microwave tonight.
